Treven Boyson was the starting pitcher and had 93 pitches in 4.2 innings. “He had a great day. He did what we needed him to do,” Vandall said.

Logan Brown came in as a middle reliever and hurled 100 pitches. “Logan did a great job. He’s a big mighty left-handed pitcher. He has some velocity on his pitches,” Vandall said.

Kelby Bauer came in and threw six pitches. He came in with two outs in the ninth inning with the bases loaded. “He got behind the hitter, but battled back and struck the kid out,” Vandall said.

The coach added that Griffin Azure, starting catcher, enjoyed a solid game. He had a minor collision at home and took a little shot to his arm, but he stayed in the game at second base and made some great plays.
